set protocols bgp neighbor soft-reconfiguration


The set protocols bgp neighbor soft-reconfiguration command enables you to generate inbound updates from a neighbor and change and activate BGP policies without clearing the BGP session. Changes in BGP policies require the BGP session to be cleared which can have a large negative impact on network operations.
The delete protocols  bgp neighbor soft-reconfiguration command disables this setting.


Command Syntax

set protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] {neighbor <ip>peer-group <peer-group> |interface <interface>} {ipv4-unicast|ipv4-labeled-unicast|ipv6-unicast|ipv6-labeled-unicastsoft-reconfiguration inbound

delete protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] {neighbor <ip>peer-group <peer-group> |interface <interface>} {ipv4-unicast|ipv4-labeled-unicast|ipv6-unicast|ipv6-labeled-unicastsoft-reconfiguration inbound


Parameter

Parameter

Description

vrf <vrf-name>

Optional. Specifies a VRF name. The value is a string. It’s a user-defined VRF set by the command set ip vrf <vrf-name> [description <string>].

{ipv4-unicast|ipv4-labeled-unicast|ipv6-unicast|ipv6-labeled-unicast}Specifies the type of the address family.
neighbor <ip>Specifies the IPv4/IPv6 address of a peer.
peer-group <peer-group>Specifies a peer group.
interface <interface>Specifies an L3 interface for BGP connection. The value could be a VLAN interface name, loopback interface name, routed interface or sub-interface name.


Usage Guidelines

  • To perform inbound soft reconfiguration, the BGP speaker must store all received route updates, regardless of the current inbound policy.
  • When inbound soft reconfiguration is enabled, the stored updates are processed by the new policy configuration to create new inbound updates.


Example
• This example enables to generate inbound updates from a neighbor and change and activate BGP policies without clearing the BGP session.
